I've been a little obsessed with hydrangeas recently. (See above blog title.) There's something about a flower that is actually tons of tiny flowers that just fills my soul. So I did some Google Image research for some inspiring pics!

How alkalic would my soil have to be to get this color?

I found this on an art website. It reminds me of the pics on my sidebar. All of which were taken by me. I'm artistic! Yippee!

Wouldn't it be fun to have one of these? But really, I think only my friend Katri could pull it off.

Which made me think, "What if I google imaged 'hydrangea chateau'?" And this is what came up:It's a travel site that helps you rent mansions! Well, I now know what site I'll be wasting monumental time on! And they're totally affordable. Only around 2000 British pounds. Which really is only $4000. Very doable. Which leads me to my last find:

Thanks for all the purse support, people! I was feeling the love so much, that I looked up the price and they're only $8! One little snag, though. You have to knit them yourself. And since I've only knitted about 8 purls in my entire life, I guess it's out. Bummer.

Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flower and they are truly beautiful....didn't realise one could get such deep red or pink I have a photo here of one in my garden.....what do you think...photo is near the bottom of the page
